Once you see the cast members they are in character – for example – before even setting foot on stage Slender (Joe Tapper) turned the tables on me using his trusty Kodak and Nym (Ernie Wingeatt) is accused (off shot) of being a drunken old fool; boy I’d have loved to see that audience member’s reaction when Ernie’s on stage.

Once again, Vomit has prevailed upon me to write on his behalf. He’s keeping a close eye as I work on photos from The Taming of the Shrew and demanded this latest post.

“My public think that being an actor is just a case of being carried on stage, nipping the odd errant hand, staring at odd occurrences, and giving the occasional shudder for emphasis. Nothing could be further from reality. The Inn Theatre Company demand the highest levels of performance and I spend hours working on my role. I first have todecide who I am, and then examine my motivations, and finally craft my relationships with all the other players before I can give my best. Naturally this is tiring. So, here’s a photo of me getting a much needed 40 winks, whilst ensuring no one tries to swipe a prop.”
